They need to not put families in upstairs rooms. The noise in rooms underneath is quite loud.
The staff were extremely nice and helpful. The restaurant was very pleasant and the food was very good. National Park is very small, but a nice place to walk around and enjoy fresh air. The Whakapapa ski resort is about 25 minutes away, quite expensive to get to in a shuttle.
The hotel and room were nice enough. It was comfortable and clean. There was a fridge and kettle in the room.
The room was only heated by an oil heater which isn’t great. The sink was barely big enough to be of use.
This property is better described as a hostel not a hotel. The resturant and dining is lovley and great staff however the rooms need updating. The small oil heater in the room was noisy and kept us awake with the clicking. A heat pump would be much better. The bathroom had no fan so got very damp and couldnt dress in due to the steam.
The room was noisy and you could hear the next door room voices and when they walked up the stairs it sounded like they were in your room so not a great sleep..
The hotel did not have a lift so if you were booked in an upper level room climbing a flight of stairs js the only option.
Also we had no hot water at night on our second
night so we had no way to have a hot shower after our day on the snow.
If you are happy with a hostel trype outfit then its ok. But its not hotel quality.
